a brief update…..

All is pretty good.  Ed’s  knee is still painful but will just have to wait for a while before he can have anything done.  He is using both his walker and a cane.  Much more freedom with the cane but less stability.  His weakness due to the length the illness and his foot drop and knee are his major problems.  Everything checked out well today at the cardiologist.  He does have a bit of problem with hypotension if he stands too quickly so having to watch for that.  Also the other night he took a tumble when he took off without his cane and now has a lovely black eye.  I was amazed that with just my help he could finally get up!

I have  finally started my orthopedic journey.  Turns out you can only see the doc for one problem at a time and since I have 10+ pain in my left foot and ankle and the same in my right knee we had to make a decision at Dr. Crossnoe’s on Monday.  The foot and ankle won but not his “thing” so had an MRI and in a week will see Chad Kennedy.  And so it goes…limpy limpy limpy  Ha Ha.

Don’t know what we would do without Hayden to drive us around this month.  Right now transportation is our biggest need.  We are really happy to be home again and it has been fun catching up with friends and family here.   Would love to be on a long cruise if we could just skip the plane, train, car part of the trip and just stay on the boat.
